What is a good lubricant for glass sliding door tracks? I suppose I need
something that will lube the tracks for at least a few weeks, without
attracting too much dirt and grime to the lubricant itself. I have tried
a soap bar which works well, but only for a week or so.

WD40 works intitially, but doesn't last, and attracts dirt.

Any good ideas ?

Thank you !!

Is the door intended to slide, or are there wheels that are worn? We
tried all kinds of lube, including graphite, but the solution was in
replacing the worn wheels and track. Our doors are very old, and we
obtained an insert for the track that essentially makes it like new
without removing the original track. Repair guy gave it to us, and it
simply screws down over the old track. Grease will just make grit and
dirt stick, so it isn't really helpful.- Hide quoted text -

Lubricate the door tracks with parrafin wax. You can buy the wax at
the grocery store...comes in a box of 4 or 5 1 inch thik slabs about 3
inches by 5 inches..... just ask a clerk or stockboy where it is.

Ive been doing this for 20 years.... forgot how I found out about
it....dont really care..... its easy...last quite a while....( i do
this 2 maybe 3 times a year)...no mess...... makes the door glide
smooth as silk

Im not about to tackle removing a sliding glass door from its track to
squirt some oil on some rollers......
